A Question of Faith
Have you ever tried to put into words the answer to the question, “What or who is God?” In every corner of the world, there’s one question that can never be definitively answered, yet stirs up equal parts passion, curiosity, self-reflection and often wild imagination: What is God? Filmmaker Peter Rodger explores this profound, age-old query in the provocative nonfictional DVD Oh My God. Just watching the trailer for the movie started me thinking… How do you answer the question? What stories would your movie tell? What picture... [Read more]
